He was also highly trained, which makes it even more curious that he had such little impulse control and lacked discipline in the field. From the article:

Ross said he has served as a deportation officer based in Minnesota since he joined ICE in 2015. He is assigned to fugitive operations, seeking to arrest “higher value targets” in the ICE region that includes Minneapolis, he testified last month. He said that he was also a team leader with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.

“So I develop the targets, create a target package, surveillance, and then develop a plan to execute the arrest warrant,” he said.

Ross said that he was also a firearms instructor, an active shooter instructor, a field intelligence officer and member of the SWAT team. He said that he attended the Border Patrol’s academy in New Mexico, where he learned to speak Spanish.

And just ruined the rest of his life.

What did he ruin? He becomes a MAGA hero.

He’ll never live a normal life again. He’s already abandoned his home.

Would you tell your child to shoot someone in the face three times for blocking the road?

Renee Nicole Good seen ‘dancing’ as she blocks ICE agents for several minutes before fatal Minneapolis shooting. Talk about entititled behavior.

How was she blocking them? You can see at least 2 cars drive around her as she waves them on.

But, oh no, she's dancing! That deserves death!

Exactly. I found the women’s demeanor bizarre— like they were enjoying themselves and doing this as a lark.

The wife made the comment “our plate is the same as was yesterday, we don’t change plates daily,” or something along those lines. Which makes me think they have already been approached by ICE and have been following and harassing them, maybe also blocking roads, more than just on this occasion. The agent didn’t appear rageful and wasn’t engaging in their verbal taunting. He didn’t look to be engaging with the wife and was walking away from her back around toward the other side when she yelled drive just as he was in front of car- so maybe he actually did feel like they they were trying to run him over.

Well, too bad he shot two bullets in the driver side window, then. The “danger” had already passed.

It’s called civil disobedience, Comrade.

That's not what it made me think. What a weird take. You're clearly looking for any reason to excuse the murder, as opposed to believing what everyone else sees.

Oh, please. He’ll be feted at Mar-a-Lago or show up as an honored guest Trump’s next state of the union address.

For like 5 minutes.

He will then be cast aside like Zimmerman or Rittenhouse.

That's not what they were doing.

Here's what they were doing: They were engaging in performance theater, hence the filming of themselves. They were behaving in a way intended to provoke a confrontation. While the death of one of the pair was likely an unintended consequence, it was also the result of foolish choices, self-aggrandizing behavior, and a wanton disregard for the risks they posed to themselves and to others by trying to attract law enforcement attention and then trying to evade it in what can be a deadly weapon when operated recklessly and in contravention of law enforcement instructions. Tragic, but self-inflicted.

+100 Well said.

I'm sure they would have been okay with getting a ticket, maybe having to pay a fine. Maybe spend some time in jail. Those are the normal consequences for civil disobedience, not getting killed.

If the car had stayed in park, that’s probably all that would have happened.

And not taunting ICE and yelling at them. Not my idea of a peaceful protest.

The lesson is that if you hurt precious ma feeling you get executed.

That’s second degree involuntary tmanslaughter, at least

Each to his own. Not everyone desires and appreciates noisy, intrusive protests in their neighborhoods. I work in a school comprised of 80% Hispanic families with respectful, hardworking kids. parents are here legally and mostly live in nearby apts. No one is bothering them.

Hispanics have turned against Trumps so apparently they are bothered.

If after they blocked the road and then tried to run me over, yes.

Do you know the first thing an officer tells a drunk as they are pleading to be let go and they’ll take an uber? They say, in your condition we have no idea what harm you may have caused tonight in your condition. We are doing this for everyone’s safety.

In Renee’s case, it was her own safety she sacrificed, and for what.

Ok, well that’s certainly a hypothetical since it didn’t happen. Not very interesting.

This is an un-American take. Americans have the right to peaceful protest, including performative protest; including non-violent civil disobedience. In fact, we have a long history of it.

Why do you have America?

Trump’s influence and attention span is waning. And he abandons and subsequently insults people at the drop of a hat.
